    I'm thinking about re-reading The Hunger Games soon too! They consumed my teen years. Catching Fire was always my favourite, I loved the arena and the addition of Finnick- plus, that cliffhanger was crazy!

    Hear me out... I LOVE complex and unlikeable female characters. But they need to be written right. I really had trouble getting through My Year of Rest and Relaxation because nothing was happening and nothing changes at the end. If you're going to be unlikeable, there needs to be something else interesting about you. The only thing that I even remember from that book now is when she pooped next to the dog sculpture (lol). I needed more unhinged moments like that for me to really get into it.

    I wanna read Funny Story very soon, only read Happy Place before from Emily Henry but I liked that one a lot! Regarding that book which is written without quotation marks: I don't think I coukd stand reading that😮 especially as a not native English speaker, I would struggle a lot and it would make my reading process much slower I assume. Something else I wanted to mention is that since reading many romance novels since last autumn where the female characters describe the male characters as mostly "broad shoulders, trained body, deep voice, amazing eyes, (...)" when they meet, I started looking at men like this too which feels so weird! In my head a narrating voice pops in and tries to see all those features😅 Obviously, that does not apply to most men I come across (at least not all of those features at once). Does anyone else have that happen to them? Additionally, why do the female characters always have to be small? I assume it is kind of a trope but as being a bit taller than average, I would love a book to feature a tall woman.

  • @gracesull78756
    @gracesull78756Ай бұрын

    you're in luck bc book lovers by emily henry has a fmc who's a tall woman (i forget exactly but pretty close to six feet), and a similar height to the male love interest ! i'm unfortunately short, but even i found it so refreshing to not have yet another girl who's so itty bitty compared to the guy. additionally, it also happens to be a bit of a fan fav (i think), and a personal favorite as well. the dynamics are a little different, but i'm in the crowd who loved happy place if that corroborates my taste any when i say i adore book lovers also, can't say i've got a narrator now, but i think after reading this comment i might lol, might make life more fun to pretend i'm in a rom-com

    I would say you can either pick and choose which ones you want to read and accept that you’ll read about characters you don’t know anything about OR read them all in order for a complete story.

    Ok, you are the only person I "know" that reads romance and Knows what a healthy romance is, so can you recommend some titles with healthy relationships? If you also have something appropriate for a 13 year old (my daughter) it would be even better, if not, no problem I need a recommendation as well 😊 I never read romance but I want to start ☺️👍

  • @angelikascorner
    @angelikascornerАй бұрын

    I think it all depends what you think healthy is honestly I think some conflict is good as long as it doesn’t verge on abuse. I think Elsie Silver is good at that and Emily Henry. For a 13 year old it’s difficult because MOST books these days have at least some sexual content in them so it depends on what you’re comfortable with her reading about. Like for example I’d say Emily Henry’s relationships are super healthy but they’re typically about 30+ year olds with some sex. On the other hand Magnolia Parks has no on page sex but has drugs, alcohol, and toxicity. It’s very hard these days to know what to recommend to anyone below the age of 16 ish. Maybe you can start her on some YA fantasy and go from there?
